Kumho Tire Co. has opened a new tire test facility at its European Technical Center in Germany.
The estimated 1,000-square-meter area will advance the center’s testing capability. The tiremaker’s technical center already processes some 3,000 tires each year, and the new space will aid in subjective dry/wet handling, hydroplaning, tire noise, and braking testing.
The new space will manage all the Kumho European Technical Center’s outdoor test requirements, while any additional needs will be catered for by a mix of the facilities in Spain, Italy, Germany and Finland.
